← ScienceWhich consequence arises on Earth due to gravitational time dilation?
A)Slower clock rates at lower altitudes✓
B)Faster radioactive material decay rates
C)Increased satellite signal propagation delays
D)Red-shifted radiation in space telescopes
💡 Explanation
Explaining Principle of Equivalence, gravitational time dilation slows clocks in stronger fields because accelerated frames are equivalent to gravity. Therefore, clocks at lower altitudes near Earth's surface run slower rather than exhibiting altered decay rates or impacts to satellites in different inertial frames.
